There is no sound in the vacuum of space. That's the line from every movie, from every lecture and story, but it's another thing to witness for yourself.

Watching from the door of the alien spaceship you find yourself on, you expected more from a dying star. A bang, like a firework but cranked up by a million. Explosions like the surround sound of an action movie in theaters. All that greets you is the slow breathing of 'the Doctor' behind you.

He claims to be an alien. He showed up in a whirlwind of sass and techno jargon, solved a crisis in your hometown, and offered to show you something amazing as thanks for your contributions. That's how you ended up here, watching the last moments of a dying star.
